Abstract
Provided herein are isolated DNA vectors comprising a heterologous gene, wherein the DNA vector is devoid of bacterial plasmid DNA and/or bacterial signatures, which can abrogate persistence in vivo. The invention also features pharmaceutical compositions (non-immunogenic pharmaceutical compositions) including the DNA vectors of the invention, which can be used for induction of long-term, episomal expression of a heterologous gene in a subject. The invention involves methods of treating a subject by administering the DNA vectors of the invention, including methods of treating disorders associated with a defect in a target gene.
